**An: Well, I got one review, but it wasn't for the most recent chapter, it was for Chapter 3, you know the really short one? Any ways, the reviewer asked me to make it longer, but I don't know what else to put in to it. So if you agree with making this chapter longer tell me what to put in it, and I'll do it! Back to Mokuba! (sorry all you Mokuba haters, but he's a necessary part of the story, though he doesn't play a very important role.)
**In front of the TV station**
/This is it, this TV station is the last place we received a signal from Seto's duel Disk. The duel must already be over. I wonder who won? That doesn't matter right now, what matters is that every one involved is all right. Especially Seto, I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. /
Mokuba took a deep breath and opened the door that stood before him. He stepped in, and the ancient floorboards squeaked beneath his unsteady feet. He noticed a hole in one step a little ways up, and realized that some one had tried to go up, but the board had broken beneath their weight.
/I should be light enough to climb up there with out a problem. Big brother don't worry, I'm coming! /
Mokuba climbed the steps without any trouble, and shakily further opened the door that was already mostly ajar. He saw two bodies at the other side of the room near the ruins of Seto's desk. One was Seto's, and the other body belonged to a girl he didn't recognize.
"Big brother!" Mokuba shrieked, as he rushed over to his brother's side. "Oh, please be all right!" he sobbed as he checked the elder Kaiba's pulse. "Thank goodness! You're all right! Just knocked out." Mokuba sighed with relief, as he looked his older brother over. He noticed the duel disk was still on Seto's left wrist, and still displayed the life points for the last duel. "Zero!" the boy exclaimed. "But how could my brother lose to-to her?" Mokuba said softly, as he remembered the girl lying next to his brother. "I wonder who she is?" he said turning to check her pulse as well. /I don't recognize her from any tournaments Seto has competed in, but she must be really good to have beaten my brother. / Mokuba thought as he pulled out his radio and called Kaiba land. "This is Mokuba, I've found Seto and the person he was dueling, they're both unconscious here at that old, rundown TV station," Mokuba hurriedly stated.
"All right Mr. Mokuba, sir, we'll send in an ambulance right away! Mary out!" came the reply.
"An ambulance won't be necessary, just a few people to help me bring them back to Kaiba Land, that's all we need!" Mokuba said, but it was to late, Mary had already hung up.
/Oh well. Hopefully this whole thing won't be publicized, otherwise this could make Kaiba Corp. look really bad. / Mokuba thought as he heard faintly the sound of sirens. /I better go out and wait for them or else they might miss this place completely, / he thought as he took one last look at the two figures that lay side by side before him, and then turned and left to wait for the ambulance.
It didn't take long before the ambulance arrived, and four men stepped out holding two stretchers. They quickly rushed into the building and climbed the steps to the room where Seto's and the girl's bodies lay. The men carefully lifted the people up on to the stretchers and carried them to the ambulance. Mokuba argued that it wouldn't be necessary to go to the hospital, and that they could drop them off at the Kaiba Mansion, but the men said that it would be better to take them to the hospital, where they could be looked over and make sure they were alright. So in the end they ended up going to the hospital.
**A few days later**
Ugh. Where am I, and why does my head hurt so much? Seto thought as his eyes flickered open.
"Oh! Big brother! You're all right! I was so worried about you!" Mokuba exclaimed as he threw his arms around his brother.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Seto said as his little brother hugged him.
"I'm sorry Seto, I was just so worried about you." the smaller Kaiba said, pulling away.
"That's alright Mokuba, it's just that every bone in my body seems to ache, and I can't remember why." Seto said noticing the bandage on his neck. "How did this happen?" Seto asked, realizing the bandage was soaked with blood.
"You mean you don't remember?" Mokuba asked, answering a question with another question.
"No, nothing. I can't seem to remember anything that happened during the last couple of days. Hey, wait a minute, how long was I out?" Seto asked rubbing his temples.
"You must have a minor case of amnesia. We don't really know that much of what happened either, all we know is that you started a duel, with the safety systems off, and got knocked out when you lost, and you've been out for three days now." Mokuba sighed.
"I lost?!? To who!?! What happened?!? Where is this person?!?" Seto said, suddenly jumping out of bed.
"Calm down, Seto! You need your rest." Mokuba said, easing his brother back into the hospital bed. "Unfortunately, we don't know who the girl is, or anything about her. All we know is that she is good enough at duel monsters to beat you." Mokuba finished sitting back down in chair next to the bed.
"Don't you even know her name?" the elder Kaiba brother asked, settling back into his pillow, realizing how sore he was.
"Not even her name. She says she won't tell us anything until she has a chance to talk to you privately. However, she seems very worried about you, and she has been in here checking on you, almost as much as I have, ever since she woke up." The smaller of the two brothers replied.
"Well then, let her in. I need to find out how she beat me." Seto said narrowing his eyes.
"Alright! I'll go and find her!" Mokuba said enthusiastically.
"Actually, I'm right here." Said the small girl coolly, as she pushed open the door. "I'm glad to see you're all right, Mr. Kaiba. Mokuba, if you would so kindly leave the room, so that I may speak to your brother alone for a minute?" the girl asked calmly.
"Um, yeah, I guess so." Mokuba said, turning to leave. "I'll be outside, if you need me, Seto." He said, shutting the door behind him.
As the girl drew closer to Seto's bed, a wave of memories from his previous duel came rushing back to him.
"YOU! YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" Seto yelled, siting up in his bed.
"Oh! That wasn't me! Well, it was me but I wasn't the one who tried to kill you, it's just so confusing, you couldn't understand." The girl said looking down at the prism that hung around her neck.
"What is there to understand! You had a knife to my throat, and you're saying you didn't try to kill me!?!" Seto yelled, shaking with anger. "You had a knife to my throat, and then you dropped it and." Kaiba said again, his voice trailing off. He looked across the room at the prism, where the girl was staring, and he felt her sharp golden eyes look up at his face trying to meet his. He turned away, not wanting to see the pain in her eyes that he had seen before. But when? Where have I seen her before? That's it. No more questions. "I WANT ANSWERS, RYU!" Seto said, turning to face her.
The prism spun, and the girl grew notably taller.
"Answers, Seto? I'll give you answers!" Ryu said angrily, as she walked towards Seto. She yanked sharply at the prism, and the string that held it around her neck snapped with ease. And continued to walk towards the place where Seto lay. He jumped out of bed as Ryu drew nearer. She stopped just in front of Seto and reached up and placed the end of the prism on his forehead.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Seto whispered shakily, as he looked down at her.
Ryu simply answered, "Giving you your answers."
**An: and that's the end of chapter 7! Whee-ness! Anyway the next chapter was originally going to be a song fic to Fade, by Stained. (One of my favorite bands.) Is this a god thing or a bad thing? Review and tell me what you think! ;)
